Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hi there. It's great to have you on the We
Need to Talk podcast for our Christmas gifting series. Today,
I'm talking gifts for mothers and mother in law's and
I'm going to start with a thirty nine dollar purchase
from Flow and Frankie. And they are the chunky gold earrings.
I have seen them in the flesh at the shop
and I love them. I would love them myself. Actually,

(00:26):
the coolest candle I've found out at the moment, and
I got given one of these for my birthday in
September is the Celia Loves candle and they're in a
few places. I found the Cloud Muse, which is the
flavor I have at home. I love at Superettes dot Co.
Do on NZ for fifty five dollars. If your mother
or mother in law is into planning and physical diaries,

(00:49):
I love a physical diary and I have ordered one
of these for myself ninety three dollars. The Stiff Pass
Planner Pass about pasee go to Stiff Pass Planners AU.
They do have to come from Australia, but they are
so comprehensive and so great and you can get them
in so many cool colors like golden navy and light

(01:10):
baby pink and gold or greens. They are the best
planners I have seen. So if you want to get
one of those, get onto that so that you can
sort the shipping. My Sweet Pea by Curated Botanics for
ninety nine dollars. It is just the most divine faux
flower potal you've ever seen. They just look gorgeous, and

(01:30):
the Curator Botanics are the highest quality faux flowers you've seen.
I've got many bunches around my house and they just
don't lose their quality. You give them a little wipe
when they get dusty and they come up so great
and they can be put in bathroom bedside in your
living room. And the best part about Curator Botanics is
the packaging is super lux, so it looks great as

(01:51):
a gift. This is an expensive one, but I have
one of these trenches and I love it. It's Jordan
Elliot's the Brentwood Trench. It's five hundred and twenty one buck,
so it's a significant purchase. But the brown color I've
gotten in the baby pink, but the sort of the
beige color is absolutely stunning. You can get that from

(02:12):
Jordan Alli dot co dot nz. What about a gift bag?
So Red Art is a store in Nelson. It's actually
my ex boss from seven Sharp, him and his wife Susie.
And Susie they have this amazing cafe and they've put
together these luxury gift boxes. So one hundred and fifty
dollars gets you a beautiful teatowl from Green Collective. It's

(02:35):
designed by New Zealand artist the Borneo Bag, which is
a cool bag in itself. You get a hog Arth
chocolate bar, a botanical handmade bath bomb, and the Lettice
notebook with the pen. So it's just one of the
coolest curated gift bags that I have seen. One hundred
and fifty dollars from Red Art Gallery dot com the
Luxe Cardo gift box. He has another option slightly more expensive.

(02:57):
It's two hundred and sixty nine dollars. The Ritual is
the one that I would recommend. Now. The slow Ritual
has things like a luxury robe in it, among other things.
It's got something to eat, it's got a beautiful candle,
it's got some bath salts and some yeah, some really
nice chocolates as well. So I would recommend the Luxe

(03:20):
Cardo gift box, so it's Luxecardo dot co dot in Z.
If you're looking for something that's got multiple things. A
luxury sunscreen. I love getting beautiful sunscreens, and there are
so many nice ones out there, but I've picked my
two favorite for you today. Cooler which smells like the
most divine pinocolata, particularly if you're looking for a spray

(03:41):
and it doesn't make you go all talky and white.
Cooler dot cot Oni in Z for fifty eight dollars
and from Farmers for twenty nine ninety nine. Naty Oh's
sun Invisible Fluid and it comes in a stick and
it just goes on beautifully on your face. You can
get the fifty SPF and I just find it sits
really nice the makeup as well. If you want to

(04:02):
go more luxury again, get the estday Lorder holiday set
from Life Pharmacy. It's a twelve piece set, so it's
super comprehensive that es day Lader products are divine. That
is going to cost you three hundred and ten dollars. Right,
Let's talk about a cookbook now. Chelsea Winter's new book
Nourish forty one ninety nine. It is so good. I've

(04:24):
got it at home, and they have these date caramel
chocolate hearts that I am dying to try. She has
gone away from her vegan books, so she is back
and it includes meat, and I think that is probably
one of the hot recipe books of the season. And
lastly from Wallace Cotton, the Willer bath Bag forty four

(04:45):
to ninety. Go to wallascotton dot com if you're looking
for a good old toilet bag. I mean when I
say good old, I look at mine and they are horrific.
So if someone was to buy me one of those
for Christmas, I would be stoked. The thirteenth Sty, thirteen eighteenth,
the thirty Sty eighteen, the yet thirty
